Running backs

[Ithacaorange]

I know DL is an issue experience and depth wise next year, but our RB room is also at defcon 6 . if tucker leaves , we have almost nothing , I know hough is a big boy, speed, etc.. but has anyone watched his tape ? It looks like it’s loaded with games versus middle school teams, I think there are 90 lb defensive back trying to tackle him. I’m surprised they even put that in his highlight video , it’s kind of a joke .

Bro. Hough is going to be fine.

Hope you’re right vey hard to tell , did you see him at all in preseason ? Or any camp tape of him ?

What actually happened to the big guy?

sure lets put our hopes into a kid who is a power back coming off a season ending injury.

 

[Trueblue25]

I have faith Hough will be a big piece in our production, however OP has a point.

We have insufficient depth. Im not comfortable with Cooper taking over considerable snaps. We could use a couple more contributors.

What happened to him, I didn’t realize he was injured ?

Yup, the kid has to change his body. The injury only makes it harder.

 

[PhatOrange]

Agreed, we should bring in 2 RBs.

We are a transfer hopefully not and an injury away from playing a kid with zero college snaps

 

[djorange1989]

nah, let's leave things as they are, I can see Tucker's tweets now...

"I had 52 carries for 238 yards, we lost the game 35-14 so I am disappointed in the outcome, pleased with my performance and frankly I am in so much pain I can barely type this tweet"

 

[721Comstock]

We already have one inbound.
LeQuint Allen. He's a stud.


(hopefully that inbound part doesn't change)

We are a transfer from having a really excellent RB room, Tucker, Hough ,Cooper and said transfer.

 

[orangenauburn]

Tucker
Lutz (to start year second on depth)
Hough
Allen
Pena if needed
TBD 2022 commit to be made

There's also three walk ons. You just never know who will emerge. Case in point Tucker.

Yes mine was not in order except the obvious Tucker. Good call on Pena, definitely could switch to RB based on what we have seen and HS film.

 

[jgeorge322]

with all due respect to lutz, he should not be on the two deep. that said, if allen makes it here, then we have a solid 2 deep

I tend to agree, however Dino does like to reward his older guys.

I actually see Allen becoming the second back by game four or five. He's that good. Hough was an absolute beast in HS. I hope his injury didn't take his burst away.

 

[upperdeck]

no Problem with Lutz other than a few fumbles.. Better blocker too

Well sometimes it pays off, see Sean Tucker.

Lutz will stay as he’s a team captain and I don’t see him entering the portal.

Tucker’s likely staying.

Besides that we got Allen coming in.

This is why Howard leaving stings. Worst case scenario you hand the ball to Marlowe Wax, but he’s never wanted to be on the O side.

If we hadn’t fired Reynolds, Coley was a serviceable Rb in HS.

Thats a big problem though

 

[PhatOrange]

With all due respect that's an awful depth chart behind Tucker.

It's an unknown depth chart

Tucker 2.0 could be on it (Allen)

Saw him on the sidelines at the Pitt game. Still limping noticeably. Hope he gets his mobility back.

He's got plenty of time to get right. People were all gung ho in him don't know why that would change. Injuries do happen.

I think you mean Defcon 1 (Maximum Readiness). They make this mistake all the time on TV and it drives me crazy.
